I Want To Go Home Sloop John B Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[C]We sailed on the ship John B my grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did [G7]roam
Drinking all [C]night got into a [F]fight
Well I [C]feel so homesick [G7]I wanna go [C]home

So hoist up the John B sail see how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore let me go [G7]home
Let me go [C]home why don't you let me go [F]home
Well I [C]feel so homesick [G7]I wanna go [C]home

The first mate he got drunk broke up the people's trunk
Constable had to come and take him [G7]away
Sheriff John [C]Stone why don't you leave me [F]alone
Well I [C]feel so homesick [G7]I wanna go [C]home

Then the cook he caught the fits threw out all of my grits
Then he took and ate up all of my [G7]corn
Let me go [C]home why don't you let me go [F]home
Well [C]this is the worst trip [G7]since I have been [C]born
